Live in North Twin Lakes

The name is this site's, not the City's. Hialeah keeps no map of neighborhoods. Its 2050 Master Plan, dated May 2025, numbers districts without naming them, and this guide is District 2 of its Palm Springs and Amelia area: 636 acres between W 12th and W 4th Avenues, from W 68th Street up to W 84th Street and the town of Miami Lakes. We named it for North Twin Lakes Park, which shares its ground with North Twin Lakes Elementary, because no plat gives a better name: the largest named one, Bellamar Park, holds 1,732 of the residents.

The 2020 census counted 13,507 residents in 4,757 homes, and that count is already out of date. The City's zoning layer records 774 apartments on parcels built from 2021 to 2024: 576 and 66 units in two buildings finished in 2023 on the West Avenue Subdivision plat, and 30 and 102 on W 4th Avenue: about one home in six added after the census. The rest is older and mixed, 1970s more than any other decade, with 566 townhouse lots beside 859 single-family ones. 8.7% of parcel acres are designated industrial, warehouses along W 84th Street under the Gratigny Parkway and down W 4th Avenue: land by designation, not a count of jobs.

The water here is rain, and a third of residents live where FEMA maps it. On the City's flood zones layer, which matches FEMA's effective map at the points checked, 4,479 residents were on blocks in a special flood hazard area in 2020: 2,925 in zone AH, FEMA's designation for shallow ponding, and 1,554 in zone AE. The reference point is in zone X. The maps date from 11 September 2009 and use NGVD29, an older datum, so compare a base flood elevation only with Hialeah's own map. The City names Irene in 1999 and the October 2000 storm as floods that left parts of the city under water for extended periods; no record says how any street here fared. No one here is in a storm surge evacuation zone. The City's Class 7 rating takes 15% off flood premiums inside a mapped zone and 5% outside, and flood cover is a separate policy from homeowners insurance.

The schools are the strongest case for the address, and they are split. Miami-Dade County Public Schools assigns by address, and the point is zoned for North Twin Lakes Elementary, graded A for 2026, Miami Lakes Middle, A for three years running, and Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High, opened in 1971 at the guide's western edge, C for 2026 after two Bs. But 4,235 residents are zoned for Twin Lakes Elementary and 2,610 for Palm Lakes, and a third, 4,476 people, for Palm Springs Middle, graded C.

The price is the ZIP's, and the bus is slow. Every resident is in ZIP code 33014, which Zillow labels Miami Lakes; its typical value was $439,493 in August 2026, flat on the year, across 40,261 people in 2020, so it is not a price for this guide. Every Hialeah address paid 18.6468 mills for 2025, with no County fire or library levy because the City runs both, so a homestead at that value owes about $7,425 a year on the base exemptions and a landlord about $8,195. Save Our Homes caps a homestead's assessed value at 3% a year and ends with a sale, so the seller's bill understates yours. The arithmetic is on the Hialeah page. Route 183 stops on W 12th Avenue about every 20 minutes at midday, but no bus or train within 5 km runs every 15 minutes; Metrorail is 5.6 km south at Okeechobee.
